Don't Call it an Americano, Long Black





Surry Hills, which is to the south of Sydney proper, turned out to be a haven of unique cafes, restaurants and shopping. Here in Australia, the most popular breakfast option is called a Toastie: two super-thick pieces of toast, sauteed veggies & meat with something cheesy melted on top.




Since a toastie starts at around $13 in Sydney, Justin and I ate a lot of delicious plain toast!  The Pigeon Cafe, reminded me of the The Hub, in Reno, with funky decor and serious coffee. 





All over Australia, slightly sweetened cocoa is sprinkled over every cappuccino.  Oh... and even the Long Black I ordered in the airport tasted better than the majority of all the coffee I've ever had in the States.



The only places with free wireless in Sydney are MacDonald's, in Adelaide, the entire city has a wireless network!  Still, we left Adelaide behind and headed for Barossa Valley.
